Hi there cherrycreeker,


Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.


It looks like you don't see the calendar events on your iPhone, but the data appears on your iPad and MacBook Pro.


If you're using iCloud calendar, see the troubleshooting steps in the iOS section of Get help using iCloud Calendar.


For more information on calendar troubleshooting, see iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting.

Check each of the following. Stop when it starts working.

  • On your iPhone open the Calendar app. Tap on Calendars at the bottom of the screen. Are all of your Calendars checked?
  • Are you connected to WiFi? If not, go to Settings/Cellular and make sure the switch for Calendar is turned on.
  • Log in to https://icloud.com. Do you see your calendar data there? If you do (and you probably will), on your iPhone go to Settings/iCloud. Is Calendar turned on? If not, turn it on. If it is on, turn it off, wait about 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

Did not work.


When I try to open the calendar app I get a screen with absolutely no calendar info, and no mention of calendar or calendars. There is only the info across the top about AT&T and wi fi signal strength, time, battery charge level, blue tooth "on", and a little arrowhead icon which I don't know the meaning of (?). Immediately below this is a fine line about 1/2 inch from the top from left to right. Then blank space down to another fine line about 1/2 inch from the bottom running from left to right. NOTHING ELSE ON THIS SCREEN.


Wi Fi is on, cellular data is on, and the Calendar switch is on.


My calendar data is on iCloud. I went on my iPhone to Settings/iCloud and turned calendar off. Waited 30+seconds and turned it back on.


STILL NO CALENDAR INFO ON iPHONE.


Any other ideas?

This did not work and was no help. However I tried doing a "power down" of my phone and when I restarted it the calendar info was back. Problem solved. Turned out to be pretty simple. I wonder why nobody suggested it. Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

The very first response from Jeremy included the link Get help using iCloud Calendar

The last step in that support tip "suggested" it. We all assumed that you had followed the instructions provided.
